A "love-'em-and-leave-'em" sailor hooks up with a dance-hall girl in Paris while waiting for his ship to sail. She falls in love with him, and when his ship leaves port she decides to show up at its next stop and reunite with her lover. However, when she arrives at the ship's next destination, she discovers that her "lover" has already found another local girl to spend his time with. Complications ensue.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot during silent cinema's final gasp, this pre-Code comedy flaunts sexual freedom that the Hays Code would soon censor into oblivion.
William Demarest's 'Hi Jack' Murdock is a dry run for the cranky comic relief that would define his forty-year career, including six Preston Sturges films.
